For some reason I think bacon is just nasty. I don't like the taste and the fact it's really bad for you doesn't do much for me. I don't get why people like bacon so much.

I bring you Chicken-Fried Bacon

Chicken-Fried Bacon

Twilight Exit
2051 E Madison St, 324-7462
Seattle

The recipe is simple—strips of bacon are coated with breading, then deep-fried until nicely golden—but the results are thrilling. When they emerge from the fryer's depths, the Twilight Exit's chicken-fried bacon strips (five for $5) are swollen and bubbly and generally not very pretty. This charmingly deformed treat is served alongside a bowl of dipping gravy on a plain white plate, inviting those overcome by food lust to generously soak each bite, while the more inhibited may skim their bacon over the pooled gravy, dotting each piece with delicate, creamy pearls. Unlike deep-fried onion rings, the bacon fuses perfectly to its shell, rendering each bite crisp and fulfilling. Deep-fried bacon is fantasy fare: As with all seedy pleasures, it should be devoured without guilt. MARTI JONJAK

This thread was made in the first 2 months of 2004!!!!!

I'm trying to recall what was memorable in that time-frame that I created this, but sadly, I cannot. Maybe if I looked up all the other things I posted 'round that time. (BTW: the current board doesn't record anything prior to 1 Jun 2003.)

This thread is amazing, it has no full on discussion, it's more like a bacon appreciation thread, it's brilliant.

This thread will probably live on until the end of time...

Bacon is cured and smoked pork. In the U.S. pork bellies are used, Canadian bacon is made from the rib eye of boneless pork loin, and most European countries use the ham (thigh) or shoulder to make bacon.

More than 2 billion pounds of bacon is produced in the U.S. each year.

Regular sliced bacon is .062 inches thick (1/16 inch) 16 - 20 slices per pound. Thin sliced bacon is .031 inches thick (1/32 inch) 28 - 32 slices per pound, and thick sliced bacon is .111 inches thick (1/8 inch) 10 - 14 slices per pound.

The BLT, (Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato sandwich) became popular when fresh lettuce and tomatoes became available year round with the rapid expansion of supermarkets after World War II.

Microwave :eek:. Grilling has to be the best way to make bacon. I have never even considered microwaving bacon (although we haven't owned a microwave in about 7 years).

One of my flatmates has a lean mean fat reducing grilling machine, it's great, everytime is bacon time!
